And Bb5so the story's told of a Eb5hearty group of men 
it's a Eb5tale of their triumphs and their F5woes. 
Be it Bb5raids and melees ancient or the Eb5modern worker's struggle 
that F5inspires men to Eb5stand up for their Bb5rights. 
And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world 
we can look back to these heroes of our past. 
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will, 
no tyranny would quell them in their task.
It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message: 
that time and tide waiteth for no man. 
So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome, 
it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled. 
An in looking to the future, we can see a better place where 
we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all. 
It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest. 
It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask.
So Eb5come on rally round this Bb5brave and valiant 
Bb5cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its G5core. 
With Bb5swords drawn to deEb5fend stood stood these Bb5noble-hearted men 
Faugh-an-Eb5ballagh, clear the F5way, me Bb5boys!!Eb5  F5  Bb5  
Under perilous conditions with small hope of success 
they left behind the lives that they once led 
and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength 
they cleared the way for the people of today 
so when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark
and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain 
it's a long road up ahead of us let's forge on while we're strong 
and leave our mark of honor once again
So come on rally round this brave and valiant 
cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men 
Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!
|    Bb5|    Eb5|    Eb5|     F5|       
|    Bb5|    Eb5| F5   Eb5|    Bb5|
So the story has been told and it comes now to an end. 
It's setting any era, any land. 
When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small, 
it inpires men to stand up for their rights.
So come on rally round this brave and valiant 
cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men 
Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!
